Colombia's National Theatre, Teatro Cristóbal Colón in Bogotá completed

September 24th, 2014

The flytower of Bogota's Teatro Colón, an Italian horseshoe-shaped theatre built in 1885 in Bogotá, has been completely modernized in the last year.  

There is a new fly-tower, side and back stages have been enlarged and the manual counterweight system has been replaced with a fully automated installation. The flexibility for the broad variety of performances has been increased enormously and the installation now meets the highest safety standards in the world.

Theateradvies was the theatre consultant for this project and was responsible for the design of the fly tower and the automated flying system. The system was installed by Waagner Biro.
